Is Lupron Depot a proper birth control treatment?
My doctor is giving me lupron depot for birth control, after doing research I’m concerned because it says not a form of birth control. Is my doctor not giving me the right medication for birth control?
Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Your apprehension is understandable, but let me clarify: Lupron Depot does serve as birth control. It prevents ovulation by halting egg release from ovaries. Physicians also prescribe it for additional purposes. While the packaging may omit "birth control" labeling, your doctor provided it for contraceptive use. If any doubts persist, consult a gynecologist directly.

I am unmarried My period late 9 days ,I had intercourse 64 days ago . August 12 I got my period and August 19 I make intercourse after that September 14 I got periods later October 14 was my periods days but today October 22 my period is not came I have taken pregnancy test at October 23 result is negative I don't have any symptoms and last month I had fasting at night for 3 weeks is this the reason for my period late their is chance for pregnant
Female | 21
Stress, changes in the diet, or fasting sometimes can cause the delay of your period. Since your negative pregnancy test and the absence of any symptoms make the pregnancy case less likely, it's almost impossible for you to be pregnant. Just give it some more time. Do remember that you have to take care of yourself, eat well, and try to be relaxed. It's always good to talk to a gynecologist if your period still doesn't come, or if you have any concerns.

Is it normal to have bleeding and stomach pain while taking birth control pills for pcos
Female | 23
Some females dealing with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) might face bleeding and abdominal discomfort when using birth control pills. Hormonal fluctuations cause this. Encountering such symptoms needn't raise alarm, yet consulting your gynecologist remains wise. They could recommend dosage adjustments or exploring alternative birth control pill types to better manage these side effects.

I have continuous UTI for last two moths before and after periods
Female | 33
You may have experienced or even still be in the process of a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs can cause symptoms like pain or burning when you pee, needing to pee often, and feeling like you can't empty your bladder. UTIs sometimes become recurrent during your period, which might have come about due to altered hormone levels or changed hygiene practices. To avoid UTIs, you need to drink a lot of water, pee after sex, void out bacteria, and also practice good hygiene. Talk to a gynecologist about treatment options and other diseases that might lead to repeated UTIs.

Dear sir mere wife ko continue blooding kyon Ho Raha hai garbhpat hone ke bad bhi
Female | 26
Your wife has been bleeding for two weeks after a miscarriage. A common scenario is that the body parts remain in the uterus. Ask the doctor if the patient has any fever and odorless discharges as well. The continuous bleeding might be the cause of the infection and other ailments. Getting a gynecologist is important to see complications early.

I'm 24 years present month my periods comes not for time what reasons late period
Female | 24
Hormone levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, which can sometimes cause a late period. Rapid weight loss or gain can also disrupt menstruation. Additionally, an unbalanced diet high in carbs or fats and lacking essential vitamins and minerals may lead to irregular periods. If your period is absent for an extended time or you experience symptoms like pain or unusual odors, it’s best to see a gynecologist, as this could indicate an infection.

Hi this is a 20 year old girl who seeks for claroty.I started bleeding heavily non stop during February this year, had sore breasts too when I squeezed done of them watery discharge came out. all of this happened while on contraceptives (nur-injection). I went to a clinic and a nurse told me to not worry since it's normal and gave me ovral 28 to stop the bleeding and it did stop. Now what I'm concerned about is the increased discharge that started having before my August periods and even now after the periods it's still there and the one on the breadt when squeezed. I stopped taking the birth controls at that time I didn't go for my second jab on March this year.
Female | 20
Heavy bleeding and discharge from the breasts can be due to hormonal imbalances. After birth control, the hormone balance may have been disrupted thus these changes occurred. Consult a gynecologist to undergo a thorough examination and address your concerns for the optimal treatment approach.

Hi I've recently got surgical abortion, that time doctor tells me that I have VIA positive.. What do i do now?
Female | 24
If you have tested positive for VIA it means that there may be abnormal changes in the cells of your cervix. This is a screening test for cervical cancer and it is recommended that you follow up with your doctor for further testing and treatment if necessary. You may need to undergo a Pap smear or colposcopy to evaluate the abnormal cells. Keep up with your cervical cancer screening tests to ensure early detection and treatment of any abnormal changes.

Period one day ho raha h wo bhi kuch ghanto k liye
Female | 25
If your period lasts only a few hours, it might be due to several reasons. Hormonal imbalances, stress, significant weight loss or gain, and certain medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders can affect menstrual flow. Additionally, changes in contraception or underlying health issues can also lead to very short periods. Consulting a gynecologist is important to identify the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment.

I am 20 yrs old . On the 28th of august, I had sex. We had unprotected sex. Little did I know, I would be ovulating today. Though he did not release it in me , I have fear that I might get pregnant. What are the chances of pregnancy and would taking a Plan B pill still be considered effective as it is already the 30th
Female | 20
The possibility of pregnancy is slightly higher because he withdrew instead of ejaculating inside you. However, there is always some risk associated with sex without a condom, especially around the time of ovulation. Taking Plan B within 72 hours after unprotected sex can reduce the chances of pregnancy. It is intended for emergencies, not regular birth control. Symptoms of pregnancy may include missed periods, nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue. Consider Plan B if you're concerned; it will help ease your worries.

is the morning after pill aftera effective. I took after 30 hours of sex
Female | 19
The morning after pills help stop pregnancy after unprotected sex. They work best within three days but can help up to five days later. Some side effects like nausea or irregular bleeding may occur, but aren't serious. If you have severe pain or heavy bleeding, talk to a gynecologist right away.

I recommend that you have an appointment with a gynecologist today. The prolonged periods can become a side effect of emergency contraceptive pills, however, you should exclude any underlying medical conditions.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then
Female | 21
Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

I visited a dentist today. It was just a normal checkup. No surgery or any other procedure. The doctor used her magnifying glass instrument to check my oral region and then used a suction pull. Nothing else was used. This process lasted for 3-4 minutes. I have fear that what if the instrument was not cleaned properly and then used on me. Can I get HIV, Hepatitis, Herpes or HPV from it. Also I have health anxiety
Male | 19
The possibility of catching HIV, Hepatitis, Herpes or HPV from ordinary dental visits is low because dentists rigorously maintain sanitation protocols. Nonetheless, if there's any discomfort or worry, it'll be beneficial to fix a meeting with your regular doctor for some blood test or have a consultation with a specialist in infectious diseases.

I am not feeling periods from 5 days. What can be the reason? What should I do
Female | 23
Missing periods for 5 days may seem worrisome, yet there could be various causes. Stress often disrupts menstrual cycles. Rapid weight fluctuations also impact hormones regulating periods. Additionally, hormonal imbalances unrelated to stress or weight can occasionally throw off your cycle. If irregular cycles persist, consult a gynecologist.

I have sex on the last day of my period dat is on sixth of this month isn’t possible that am pregnant
Female | 29
On the last day of your period, sex does not guarantee the absence of pregnancy. Sperms are viable to survive for 5 days in the female reproductive tract. Therefore, you better use contraception if you do not wish to conceive. Please refer to a gynecologist, to discuss with him/her, the best birth control option for you.

My wife is 9 months pregnant and her sugar level is high. So I need some suggestions and how she can have a normal baby in this situation or not. The last baby is already born by cesarean.
Female | 28
If your wife's sugar levels are high during pregnancy, it's important to consult a specialist, such as an obstetrician or a maternal-fetal medicine specialist. They can provide personalized advice and monitoring to help manage her condition and ensure the best possible outcome for both her and the baby.
